Marlins top Brewers in Lee's debut

Carlos Lee doubled and scored in his Miami debut and Mark Buehrle struck out a season-best eight in 72/3 innings yesterday as the visiting Marlins beat the Milwaukee Brewers, 4-0.

Buehrle (8-8), who allowed only six hits, had a 1.29 ERA in his previous two starts and now has three straight wins with at least seven strikeouts.

Lee needed only two at-bats in his first game with the Marlins to make his presence known. He struck out in the first before doubling in the fourth. Hustling all the way, he scored easily on Logan Morrison's single.

Nationals 6, Giants 5: Bryce Harper scored the winning run when first baseman Brandon Belt couldn't dig out a short-hop throw on a potential double-play ball in the bottom of the ninth.

Braves 7, Cubs 3: Jason Heyward and Brian McCann each hit a two-run homer in the first inning off Matt Garza (4-7) for host Atlanta.

Pirates 2, Astros 0: Jeff Karstens allowed four hits and struck out eight in eight innings for host Pittsburgh, which completed its first four-game sweep of the Astros at home since 1979.

Padres 2, Reds 1: Yasmani Grandal led off the bottom of the ninth with a triple and scored on Everth Cabrera's bases-loaded single as San Diego earned its sixth straight victory.

Dodgers 4, Diamondbacks 1: Scott Van Slyke and Elian Herrera hit solo home runs for visiting Los Angeles. Arizona, which lost its sixth straight, did not hit a home run for the first time in 16 games.

Cardinals 6, Rockies 2: Lance Lynn (11-4) tossed six shutout innings and Matt Holliday and Carlos Beltran had two RBIs each for host St. Louis.

Angels 9, Orioles 7: Kendrys Morales hit a two-run single in a five-run fourth for host Los Angeles.

Indians 3, Rays 1: Josh Tomlin pitched seven stellar innings and Shin-Soo Choo, Michael Brantley and Travis Hafner homered for host Cleveland. Luke Scott went 0-for-3 and set the Rays' record by going 39 straight at-bats without a hit.

Royals 9, Blue Jays 6: Eric Hosmer had three RBIs for visiting Kansas City, which had a season-high 16 hits. The Blue Jays released lefthander Jamie Moyer, 49, who was 1-1 with an 8.18 ERA at Las Vegas. Moyer was cut by Baltimore and Colorado earlier this season. He has 269 wins in a 25-year major league career.

White Sox 2, Rangers 1: Jose Quintana (4-1) allowed two hits in eight innings and Kevin Youkilis hit a go-ahead homer as host Chicago completed a three-game sweep.

Tigers 7, Twins 3: Prince Fielder's three-run homer in the eighth made it 6-3 for host Detroit. -- AP
